GBP/JPY Technical Analysis: intraday recovery stalls at 100-hour EMA
• Rebound from the pre-BoE strong horizontal support and jumps back to test 100-hour EMA, albeit lacked any strong follow-through.
• Mixed technical indicators fail to support any firm directional bias and hence, any subsequent up-move is likely to confront strong hurdle near 200-day SMA.
• A decisive break below 144.70 horizontal support would negate prospects for any near-term up-move and turn the cross vulnerable to slide further.
